A DVD-R can only have data written to it once. The data cannot be erased or overwritten.

Write-once DVD-R or CD-R can now be rewritten (only in Windows 7). Just format the disc into UDF file system; or, upon inserting a blank disc in the burner, Just choose LIKE A USB FLASH DRIVE among the 2 options, then format it.
